Rolls-Royce Wraith Teaser Video Released

Rolls Royce has released a teaser video featuring the new coupe, which is set to be unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. After publishing the first teaser images and spy shots taken during winter testing, Rolls Royce reveals this new clip, which slightly uncover the silhouette of the new Rolls Royce Wraith. The British coupĂ© pledges to bring out the dark side of Rolls Royce, combining the brand’s standard elegance and comfort to the dynamics and driving pleasure of a true sports car. Rolls Royce Wraith will be the fastest car ever produced by the manufacturer and will ensure sports car performance, with excellent handling and ultimate road holding. The Wraith’s suspension has been developed on the track and the final setup was tried at the Nordschleife. The car was extensively tested at the Nurburgring, and will keep undergoing further high-speed testing on track until its official launch on the market. The luxury coupĂ© will feature rear-wheel drive and should be equipped with a V12 engine producing power output of around 600 hp, managed by an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. Performance will be at the highest level and the weight of the car should also be reduced compared to the current Rolls Royce flagship models, which despite being very heavy, boast both good acceleration and speed thanks to the high performing V12 engines.

Bruce Willis Unveils Giant "Die Hard" Mural

Bruce Willis unveiled a permanent tribute to his Die Hard character John MCClane at a movie studio in California on Thursday (31Jan13) to mark 25 years since the original film's release. The actor was catapulted to movie star status in 1988 following the release of the popular action film, which spawned a series of sequels including 2013's fifth installment A Good Day to Die Hard. Willis was on hand to celebrate the movie's 25th anniversary on Thursday by unveiling a giant 35-foot (10.7-metre) mural on the side of a soundstage at the 20th Century Fox Studios in Century City, California. The actor pressed a fake detonator, which let off a fireworks display and dropped a curtain to unveil the huge artwork, which showed Willis crawling through an air vent as tough New York cop MCClane. He said of the tribute, "This is really nice. I started on Stage 20 at Fox. I'm so honoured. Thank you so much... Twenty-five years. I don't really notice the passage of time. At the time, I didn't know what it was. And the idea of sequels hadn't happened yet. I probably should have been paying more attention." Fox boss Jim Gianopulos adds, "If you look around the lot, there's Star Wars, The Simpsons, The Sound of Music, all classic properties that have defined the studio's history. This is another iconic film with a singular and enduring legacy. At the heart of it is a character who's a combination of Everyman and Superman. He's the classic reluctant hero who finds himself and rises to the occasion." The unveiling was followed by a screening of the new film and a party at Fox Plaza, the venue which doubled as the location for the ill-fated Nakatomi Plaza building in the first Die Hard film.
